Description: What Is Post-Punk? : Genre and Identity in Avant-Garde Popular Music, 1977-82, Hardcover by Haddon, Mimi, ISBN 0472131826, ISBN-13 9780472131822, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "A great deal has been written about punk and the dramatic changes it wrought in the transatlantic world of pop music. A wave of new music that was strongly influenced by the politics and sounds of punk - but less raw, more commercially successful - followed close on punk's heels in the late 1970s. (Think Joy Division, The Raincoats, Human League, Public Image Limited, The Slits.) Post-punk has always been controversial to the influential fans of punk and rock (music writers as well as music fans): post-punk is more self-consciously "arty" and cosmopolitan, engaged with genres outside the predominantly white-identified rock family tree (particularly reggae and disco), and has always been willing to question the valuing of authenticity over artifice (and pleasure). Haddon focuses on how post-punk's push beyond the tropes of rock and punk challenged prevalent ideas about what makes pop music culturally valuable and commercially successful, showing how post-punk's emphasis on artifice, identity politics, and eclecticism opened the door to wider discussions of these topics in the context of other genres ranging from glam and New Wave to indie rock"--
